NASHVILLE, TN (July 22, 2016) – Following his debut performance on NBC’s “TODAY,” RED BOW Records’ Craig Campbell has launched his “CRAIG CAMPBELL: MAKING COUNTRY MUSIC GREAT AGAIN” campaign today (7/22). The first installment of the parody was released exclusively to select FOX affiliates around the country and t-shirts can be purchased here.

“I love country music,” says Campbell, “I have dedicated my life to making it the only way I know which is great. In my book there is only one kind of country music…Great Country Music. It’s what I do.”

Every Wednesday, Campbell releases a #WCW (Woman Cover Wednesday) video featuring his rendition of songs originally sung by women. The latest video, filmed backstage at the “TODAY” show features his take on Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” #WCW videos can be found across Campbell’s social media platforms or here.

Campbell recently announced his upcoming first-ever USO tour, and that he will participate in the Grand Ole Opry/USO 75th Anniversary concert series. Going from coast to coast, performances include Patrick Air Force Base in Florida on August 7 and Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington on August 9.

ABOUT CRAIG CAMPBELL:
Campbell launched on to the country music scene with the release of his self-titled debut album (2011) delivering the hits “Family Man,” “Fish,” and “When I Get It.” To date, he has logged five consecutive charted hits with over a billion radio airplay audience impressions and over a half million downloads. Acclaimed as one of the genre’s most neo-traditionalist singers, his Top 15 breakout debut “Family Man” was featured on HBO’s True Blood and fan-favorite “Fish” has tallied nearly 400,000 digital copies sold. Campbell earned his first Top 10 smash with the infectious “Keep Them Kisses Comin’” from his sophom ore album NEVER REGRET (2013). The gifted songwriter co-wrote Garth Brooks “All American Kid” off of MAN AGAINST THE MACHINE. Prior to landing his first record deal, the Lyons, GA native spent time on the road playing keyboard for both Tracy Byrd and Luke Bryan – shows that inspired him nightly. He was soon discovered while playing a regular gig at the downtown Nashville honky-tonk, The Stage.
